Hurricane Laura made landfall near Cameron, Louisiana as a category 4 hurricane overnight. This powerful and dangerous hurricane continued to bring extreme winds and life-threatening storm surge to the area Thursday morning — and the damage is likely to be catastrophic. At 5 am, Laura was located near 30.5 North, 93.4 West, and was moving north at 15 miles per hour. Maximum sustained winds were 120 miles per hour. Laura will slowly weaken as it makes it way northward and then northeastward through much of the Mississippi Valley and the mid-Atlantic. Even after its winds diminish, Laura will continue to bring flooding rains to the region into the weekend.
Elsewhere in the tropics, we’re watching a wave that has just emerged off the African coast. This wave has a low chance of development during the next 5 days.
